SoGood51... I blew through this string pretty quickly, but I thought I heard you say your leaning towards a "big" speaker. I bought my Silverline Sonata II's sight unseen (used @ $2750 delivered) and could not be happier. There is a pair of Sonata I's that just got listed for $2250... you may want to consider them... beautiful cabinets, very efficient, and great sound. I also hear unanimous support for Montana speakers and Green Mountain.
